    After Zhuge Jin returned to the camp and told his colleagues about the reaction of the judge, the whole room burst into laughter.  Yuan Mai was also overjoyed, stroking his beard and saying: "Very good, I finally caught the old fox Shenpei by the nose, and now I'm going to prepare to attack the city!" In the middle of the night, a hazy drizzle began to fall in the sky, and it started to rain slowly.  It lasted most of the night and just stopped at dawn.  Yecheng is surrounded by water, and the Zhanghe River is moist. After the light rain, a hazy fog has arisen. Even if there is some breeze, it cannot be blown away. It is misty and misty, lingering over Yecheng, like a mirage, and like a fairyland on earth.  After a night of busy work, the craftsman battalion rushed out nearly two hundred sky lanterns in one night. Not only did it complete the five hundred requested by Yuan Mai, but there were six or seventy more, which would undoubtedly increase the number of troops entering the city.  be strengthened.  If the Zheng family, who was kind to him, was not trapped in the city, Yuan Mai could have chosen to launch a strong attack on Yecheng.  But since the Zheng family is controlled by others, they can only choose five hundred warriors to parachute into Yecheng first, and then cooperate internally and externally; hoping to get the best of both worlds in the end.  The dead soldiers who entered the city were carefully selected. They were all warriors who could fight one against ten. Each of them held a halberd. This is an advanced weapon that combines the slashing with the knife and the stabbing with the spear. It was carefully crafted by the masters and apprentices of Han Blacksmith.  Forging, very suitable for hand-to-hand combat.  A total of five hundred and seventy warriors, led by the two fierce generals Zhao Yun and Zhang He, fought for each other in the streets. Those who were not skilled in martial arts were not enough to shoulder the important task.  In order to maximize the strength of the warriors entering the city, Yuan Mai also sent two of his personal guards, Zhu Gongdao and Zhou Cang.  Let them follow the "airborne troops" into the city.  This "air force" has two tasks. The first is to cut down the suspension bridge of the city gate, so that the city ramming vehicle can cross the moat and hit the city gate.  The second task is to ensure the safety of Zheng and Wen Chou who are trapped in the dungeon.  After some weighing, Yuan Mai decided to let Zhang He and Zhou Cang lead 200 people to land on the south city tower, cut off the suspension bridge with lightning speed, and support the army outside to attack the city.  After all, the landing process of the Kongming Lantern cannot be controlled. It is impossible for everyone in this team to land on the city wall accurately. Therefore, they need to assemble after landing, and then be led by people who are familiar with the streets and alleys to climb up the city wall.  And Zhang He is very familiar with the streets and alleys of Yecheng.  Relative to Zhao Yun.  It is undoubtedly more suitable to lead troops to attack the city and occupy the tower.  Therefore, Yuan Maicai decided that Zhang He would be responsible for seizing the city wall, with Zhou Cang as his deputy.  Let Zhao Yun seize the prison and protect the safety of Zheng and Wen Chou.  According to Cao Qian's report, the place where Zheng was imprisoned was a dungeon next to the front yard of the "General's Mansion"; this was the place where Yuan Shao used to imprison important prisoners.  Unexpectedly, at this moment, the wife would use it to imprison her most beloved concubine.  And the most loyal general.  Zhao Yun has never been to Yecheng.  I am not familiar with the roads in Yecheng.  Compared with Zhang He, he was at a disadvantage in terms of "geographical convenience".  But it doesn't matter, Zhu Ling, the "Yecheng Tong", will lead the way.  Zhao Yun is not afraid of not being able to find the location of the dungeon.  Zhu Ling is eager to perform meritorious service, and Mrs. Zheng has taken great care of him in the past few years and is grateful. Therefore, Zhu Ling has the responsibility to save people.  Without waiting for Yuan Mai to say anything, he volunteered to lead the way for Zhao Yun to capture the prison.  "If Liu knew that the Bingzhou army was attacking the city with all its strength, the first thing that would come to his mind would be to get rid of Zheng Yu and use this rival to support him before his death. Then he would send people to attack the dungeon at all costs.  At this time, when Zhao Yun, the most powerful general of the Bingzhou Army, was showing off his might, if we were to talk about the ability of "one man can stand a test against ten thousand others", who else would be better than Zhao Zilong?  In order to ensure that the dungeon can be defended before the city is broken, Yuan Mai also sent Zhu Gongdao, a ranger with strong martial arts skills, to Zhao Yun's team, letting him serve as Zhao Yun's deputy to jointly rescue people.  The wind is blowing and the rain is hazy.  Yuan Mai waved his hand to the 570 warriors who were ready to go first, and loudly ordered: "Mountain air raid!" Zhao Yun and Zhang He, each wearing armor and carrying weapons, led more than 500 warriors, each carrying a Kongming lantern, out of the south gate.  After leaving the camp, we headed towards the hills north of Yecheng.  Just as the "Air Force" was leaving the city, all the troops attacking the city from all directions were also assembled and were ready to leave the camp at any time.  The main direction of the attack was naturally the South City Gate, where Zhang He was responding from the inside. Wang Shuang led 5,000 elite soldiers, pushing the city car to attack the city gate immediately. Yuan Mai and Xu Shu led 20,000 main troops to cover the rear.  After the suspension bridge falls, rush into the city as quickly as possible.  If only one city gate is attacked, the defenders can concentrate their forces to defend it with all their strength, which will greatly increase the casualties of the siege forces. Therefore, "feint attacks" at several other city gates are also essential.  Yuan bought his flag and ordered Zhang Xun to lead five thousand men to attack the north gate, while Yuan Yao led five thousand men to attack the north gate.They attacked the west gate, leaving the east gate for the defenders in the city to escape.  After the city of Ye was broken, the men and horses in the city would inevitably flee eastward and go to the plains to join Yuan Shang.  He also ordered Guo Huai to lead 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to lay ambushes on the post roads from Yecheng to Guantao and Pingyuan, capture the defeated soldiers who escaped from the city, and strive to capture all 20,000 men in Yecheng.  After the generals left the city, the task of defending the city fell on Zhuge Jin. He led the remaining 7,000 troops to guard the camp and take care of the food and grass to avoid accidents.  After receiving the order, the generals performed their duties and took action under the cover of heavy fog.  However, the camp was too close to Yecheng. Yuan Mai was afraid that the sound of footsteps would disturb the defenders in the city, so he strictly ordered all the troops to prepare for the attack and not make any noise when the horn sounded in the city, so as not to disturb the defenders.  The sky is hazy, this is the darkest hour before dawn.  Because the weather was gloomy and foggy, it was difficult to see the people on the opposite side even ten steps away. It was a rare opportunity to launch a surprise attack.  Xu Shu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "It seems that my lord deserves to get this Yecheng, otherwise God will not be happy!" "Haha It seems that I am complying with God's will!" Yuan Mai was fully armed and had "Wanli" on his back.  "Lift the clouds and smoke" with a strong bow, Xu Shu laughed loudly in agreement.  Compared with swords, Yuan Mai prefers to use arrows.  In archery.  Yuan Mai dares to boast that he is the best in the world. Even compared to Lu Bu, Taishi Ci, Xia Houyuan, Huang Zhong and other top archers in the world, he is not far behind.  But when it comes to swordsmanship, Yuan Mai is really not sure, and he may not be able to beat Zhu Ling. The last time he competed with this little guy with a wooden sword, he failed to take advantage of him for three consecutive games. This was because Zhu Ling gave in to him.  situation.  If it was really a bloodbath with the bayonet seeing red, I'm afraid I would have died long ago.  "My martial arts skills are very average. How do I compare with the other lords? For example, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others?" Yuan Mai has not met these competitors yet.  Of course there is no way to know.  He swore secretly in his heart.  After Jizhou is pacified, he must let Zhao Yun teach him some skills, not to go into battle to kill the enemy, but to kill the enemy in critical moments.  Able to protect oneself.     only.  What Yuan Mai didn't expect was.  His defeat by Zhu Ling's sword was actually not unfair at all; despite his young age, this guy was extremely talented in swordsmanship.  After studying with Zhen Yao for more than a month, Zhen Yao, who had been a ranger for many years, lost his temper.  After two years of hard training, his fencing skills have improved to a higher level, and he is far from the "Zhu Xiaoqi" of yesterday.  Zhao Yun and Zhang He led 570 warriors, carrying Kongming lanterns on their backs, and climbed the hillside to the north of Yecheng as quickly as possible. Then, under the cover of thick fog, they ignited the rosin, and with the help of the north wind, began  Flying over Yecheng.  Before arriving in Yecheng, these flying warriors had been selected and underwent two test flight trainings.  At this moment, it was taking off gracefully in the thick fog, as if it were flying through the clouds.  Because the ground could not be seen clearly and the smoke was hazy, the previous fear of high altitudes no longer existed in my heart.  Although the heavy fog obscured the traces of their flight, it also made it difficult for the team flying in the air to see the situation on the ground. Fortunately, Zhu Ling, who was born and raised in Yecheng, was the first to feel Yecheng under his feet and shouted "Two  General, Yecheng is already at your feet, please give the order to land!" As Zhu Ling spoke, he extinguished the burning rosin, used a dagger to cut a slit on the lamp cap, and slowly released the heat. The flying Kongming Lantern suddenly slowed down.  It slowly deflated and slowly landed towards the ground.  After being reminded by Zhu Ling, Zhang He also looked carefully at the ground, but the smoke was so thick that he couldn't see anything clearly. He just felt that the direction under his feet should have reached Yecheng, so he waved to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, Zhu Ling."  That should be correct, there is a good chance that we are at Yecheng!" "Land!" Zhao Yun extinguished the rosin with a wave of his hand, and opened a gap in the lantern with a wave of his hand, and the Kongming Lantern that lost its heat quickly deflated.  , with Zhao Yun in the bamboo basket falling to the ground, his speed was much faster than Zhu Ling's slow landing, but he arrived first and jumped out of the bamboo basket when he landed.  Fortunately, Zhao Yun was agile and had strong limbs. If he had been an ordinary soldier, he would have fallen so fast that his limbs would have been broken and he would have fallen to the ground.  Seeing Zhao Yun's strong skills, Zhu Ling couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "No wonder the master praised General Zilong's martial arts as the best in Hebei. It's really amazing when I see him today!" Zhao Yun smiled, "There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the mountains.  , Don¡¯t say this casually, General Wenyuan and General Junyi are both extraordinary!¡±While talking, the warriors in the sky landed one after another. Most of them landed within a three-mile radius of the area where Zhao Yun was standing, either on houses or on the streets. In worse cases, they landed on the ground.  It fell on a big tree. Although it took a little effort, fortunately it was not serious.  After all, the air raid on Yecheng was not an easy task. Coupled with the thick fog, although these soldiers were brave, they lacked the experience and skills to fly at high altitudes. Five or six of them still suffered varying degrees of injuries when they landed.  .  Before climbing the mountain, Yuan Mai had already made arrangements for this issue. After landing, Zhu Ling immediately took a few elite soldiers to carry the injured soldiers and sent them to Zhen Yao's original courtyard. Although it had been abandoned for a year, he allowed the soldiers to  They hid for a while and it wasn't a big problem.  The darkest hour before dawn has passed, but due to the gloomy weather, thick fog, and sparse pedestrians on the streets, most residents are still asleep.  In addition, all Yuan's troops in the four states of Hebei wore the same armor and clothing and did not make them individually. Therefore, even if the common people who got up early saw their presence, they did not pay attention and thought they were soldiers patrolling the city.  There was even a captain who came down from the city on night patrol and passed through the streets. He glanced at the group of people and did not cause any alarm. After all, there were more than 20,000 people stationed in Yecheng. The sergeants were mobilized in various places.  It is normal to switch defenses between city gates.  For people of this era, if they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that the enemy could fall from the sky, even in their dreams; therefore, the captain's negligence is understandable.  The walls of Ye County are high and thick, the moat is deep and wide, and the four city gates are tightly closed. Can the enemy still fly in with wings?  Although it did fly in!  Unexpectedly, the operation went so smoothly. Zhao Yun and Zhang He smiled at each other and said goodbye with arms folded.  Zhang He and Zhou Cang led 200 soldiers and rushed to the south gate. After Zhu Ling arranged the injured soldiers, he quickly returned to lead the way. Together with Zhao Yun and Zhu Ao, who was carrying two swords, he led 26  More than a dozen fierce soldiers marched along the streets and alleys towards the "General's Mansion".  Obviously, Yuan Mai and the think tank's "asking for food" strategy paralyzed the judge. Coupled with the rainy day and heavy fog, there were fewer soldiers patrolling the streets than usual. This allowed Zhao Yun and his party to easily approach the "General's Mansion"  ".  Amid the hazy smoke, the General's Mansion was as quiet as usual.  After a period of killing, all the dissidents in Yecheng were basically eradicated. Liu felt that she had nothing to worry about. Although Yuan bought troops and came to the city, she did not take it seriously.  Therefore, there were no more guards than usual at the mansion. In total, there were about three hundred people around.  "General Zilong, follow me through the back door!" Zhu Ling couldn't be more familiar with this mansion. He waved to Zhao Yun and led a team of more than 200 people towards the back door of the mansion.  "Stop, who is coming?" There were ten soldiers responsible for guarding the back door, led by a commander. When he saw a team coming, he was a little confused and hurriedly shouted loudly.  Zhu Ling held the sword in his hand and strode forward: "It's me, Zhu Ling!" As he spoke, he strode closer to the soldiers guarding the gate.  Zhu Lingcai had just left this mansion for three or two months. When he was in Yecheng, he often came in and out through the back door. He knew this person. When he saw clearly who the person was, he couldn't help but laugh: "I  Who do you think it is, it turns out to be Zhu Xiaoqi, why are you wearing armor today? You look like a human!" The sword flashed, and a human head fell to the ground.  Zhu Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "My name is Zhu Ling. If you dare to call me by my nickname again, I will kill you!"
